County Zoning

Welcome to the Randolph County Zoning Office. The Zoning Office was established on July 1, 1991, with the passing of the zoning ordinance by the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. This ordinance is applicable throughout Randolph County, except within the corporate limits of municipalities which have adopted local zoning ordinances. The zoning ordinance regulates lots, structures, uses, and similar matters in order to preserve, protect, and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens and properties of Randolph County. Please read over the information provided at our website. If you have questions, contact our office and we will assist you in any way that we can.

Credentials

Office Overview

The Zoning Office is responsible for the general administration and enforcement of the Randolph County Zoning Ordinance, the Randolph County Floodplain Ordinance and the Randolph County Subdivision Ordinance. The Zoning Office issues building permits and initial certificates of zoning compliance applications for any structure built or placed in the unicorporated areas of the county and any municipality which does not carry its own zoning ordinance. We also accept all applications which will go before the Zoning Board of Appeals monthly meeting.
